Ruïnelaan 34

The price is on the high side, but that's expected for a detached home of this size and age in Bergen. The 236 m² floor area, 490 m² plot and energy label A all add value. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly, but the combination of space, character and efficiency is rare.

The energy label is A, which is very efficient for a home built in 1913. That means lower heating costs and a smaller environmental footprint. The home likely has good insulation and modern heating systems.

The nearest train station is 5.2 km away. That's about a ten-minute drive or a longer cycle. It's not within walking distance, so a car or bike is handy for train travel.

There are several schools within walking distance. PCC Bergen (secondary) is 241 m away, the Adriaan Roland Holstschool (secondary) is 364 m, and the Vrije School (secondary) is 412 m. For primary education, the Protestant-Christelijke Basisschool Willem-Alexander is 851 m away.

Dekamarkt is just 422 m away, so you can walk there in a few minutes. Aldi and Albert Heijn are also nearby at 564 m and 570 m respectively. For daily groceries, you're well covered.

Yes, the Geest is a very safe neighbourhood. In the latest data, only 11 crimes were recorded in total. That's low for an area of 765 residents. It's a quiet, residential area with a mature population.

The plot is 490 m², which is generous for a detached home in Bergen. It gives you plenty of private outdoor space, though the listing doesn't specify a garden. You could have a large garden, patio or even a small studio, subject to planning.
